The book describes color management for the print production with a focus on
implementing standards for separation, soft proof, contract proof, data delivery
and printing.

management workflows which can easily be realized with leading applications from
e.g. Adobe, AGFA, GMG, Heidelberg, Kodak and X-Rite.

The author explains with a unique graphical concept how different standards such
as ISO 12647, SWOP, GRACoL, G7, ICC profile format and PDF/X fit together.

He describes the main points for setting up color management and quality control
from the print buyer over photography, agency and pre-press to the printer.
The book has a strong focus on communication between print buyer, photographer,
agency, pre-press and printers. Based on the best practice in communication it
explains the important steps for quality control for digital data, contract proofs
and prints.
